The suggestions in the video are not helping, there is a compatibility issues recognised by Fuji, here the support reply I received: "There is a known issue with IOS 18+ and oneplus operating systems, the app is currently incompatible with those versions, the development team is working on an updated version which should be available soon." I have Oppo but the base sw is the same as OnePlus. Thx S

My lens wasn't new, but the Store in Denver where I got it second-hand, give me the option to return it and I did...

I have the Fuji 80 mm macro lens and recently bought the 30 mm lens. I compare these to my Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 105 mm lens, which I frankly think is the best I have ever used.The Fuji 80 mm lens can be really great and has a distant focal distance for 1:1 which can be a nice feature. But the lens is very heavy. It also has a floating element, which can be disconcerting and often seems to make you get an error that requires you to return on the camera. Very disconcerting when I am about to get that bee in focus. I have found that the 30 mm lens is far more useful. It does require closer distance for 1:1 and it too has a floating element. But it has never been a problem and I get very nice shots of insect pollinators on flowers, which requires rapid motion and autofocus. Highly recommend this lens.

It is about time you put those in a book! 😁

Awesome! More please.

I don’t want to sound as if I were a Fujifilm advert, but seriously, I am always baffled by these kinds of posts. I have just come from a lunch with an experienced photog who shoots the Nikon D850. He wanted to see two big printed photobooks that I made, one of Edinburgh and another one of the Alps & Dolomites, 160 pages each, bigger than an A4 paper. He went through them very slowly and he repeatedly praised the pictures for sharpness, handheld low light shots, high dynamic range shots, colour etc. He said they were very very good, worthy of commercial printing. He was genuinely surprised what the Fuji cameras can do. My X-T5 & X-T2, no issues whatsoever. I love these cameras. I could buy anything else, I have the money, but I honestly see no reason. Maybe if I were a sports photographer shooting indoor basketball I would need something else, but for anything else, no. Size, handling, quality, colour, dynamic range of the sensor, wonderful lens - I love my Fujis. Focusing on the X-T5 is of course faster than on the X-T2 but I am keeping that one too. Focusing was never an issue for me. Sorry, I have a different experience. Might you have a faulty camera ? I don’t know.

Hi ! I've got the exact same issue with my XT5 and 16-55 f2.8 II ... My xt5 is on 4.31 Lens is 1.00 I tried it with both files (XFUP0019.DAT and XFUP0064.DAT), together and individually on the SD card, formatted it everytime I tried a new combination. My guess is that having access to older firmware updates could help, since there is a big jump (8 updates) between 1.00 and 1.33 Does anybody know where i could find the older firmware update files ? Thanks, Théo

Okay, thanks for answering. After I wrote this, I saw your post at DPreview as well. I bought mine used, so no warranty for me, sadly.

I had the same issue, thanks for sharing the workaround You need to manually move the previous onlyRAW photos to your computer, and then after changing the suggested config you will be able to see the new shooted photos with new config in the XApp.

No, I had my lens sent to a Fuji service center in my country and they were able to identify the issue but the cost was half of the lens, so, I Returned to Colorado where I got it... They said that the problem was in the focus block assembly and the new part isn't easy to find outside Fuji itself.

I went out to photograph birds on the weekend, at the location I'd chosen there was heavy fog. Here is the sun, using the heavy fog as a solar filter. X-T5 and XF 150-600.

I have had the same problem mentioned by many. A few years of good service. Mostly with X-T3, X-T30. Now I get the prompt to turn off and on. Cleaned contacts and at first it worked but not after a few uses. It is a nice pancake lens and that is why I think it is used mainly. Thinking of buying the TTArtisan, which is cheap but not sure it is that great. Has anyone tried it? Contact with Fujifilm repair has been hard in New Jersey. On an X-T50, one has a nice combination for street photography (if it worked!).

If you change to ms+es it will change on it's own when necessary

excellent, thanks for sharing!

shutter delay can be solve by turn on the TTL-lock, you can set it at any button

Welcome to the forum.

OP where you able to get this issue resolved? I bought a second hand xf 90 and have experienced the same issue as you. I have mine in for service for another issue following a fall, but I asked them if they could check it out.

Sometimes questions about cameras' resolution and astrophotography pop up. More often the questions are noise related, but 'are more pixels better' has its fans. 'Sometimes, it depends' is about the best answer out there. I think maybe it is better to instead ask back 'do you use your camera for daytime photography as well and do you like the images you get?' If so, then stick with the camera you have. Everything from pixel size to smoke levels or turbulence in the atmosphere to the telescopes' optical limits and so much more impact how images turn out. There are so many rabbit holes to fall into, that if you go down into them, it may be many years before anyone sees you come up for air. 😄 There are two things though that can be said 'with certainty' about using a higher resolution camera in place of your current gear: 1. The angle of view becomes wider in the higher resolution camera's image. Think of it as if you use a normal lens to get a photo, then put on a wide angle lens and take the same photo. The region covered by the higher resolution camera is wider. 2. The supporting equipment; mount, tripod, image processing gear, etc. etc. become much more [expletive deleted] expensive 😇, that is you need a sturdier tripod and mount, more computer -- drive space and powerful processors, and so forth and so on. From last night's Sturgeon Moon, an example: Both of these images are taken of the same subject using the same lens, at just about the same time, but with two different camera bodies. I got a first set of images, took the first camera body off of the lens, put the second camera body onto the lens and got a second set of images. Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm. F16, 1/60s, ISO 160. 6240 pixels x 4160 pixels. Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm. F16, 1/60s, ISO 200. 4896 pixels x 3264 pixels. Okay, so they look the same or close enough. That is because both images have been scaled to 900 pixels wide. That and the essentially empty backgrounds are misleading. Here are crops from the full size images: 1801 x 1505 pixels (scaled to 900 pixels wide in this image) from 6240 x 4160 pixels leaves 4439 pixels wide for other stuff. 1178 x 1205 pixels (scaled to 900 pixels wide in this image) from 4896 x 3264 pixels leaves 3718 pixels wide for other stuff. If you like your camera's images, use it for daytime and night photography. There is not much good in chasing resolution hoping more pixels will better resolve astronomical objects just like they do in the daytime images, making the fluff on distant bird feathers pop out. As a thought, those beautiful images from the Hubble are made using "The UV/optical channel has two CCDs, each 2048×4096 pixels, while the IR detector is 1024×1024." (*1) The new James Webb Telescope is using an array of 4 megapixel cameras similar to how terrestrial giga-pixel images are made. (*2) I believe other agencies such as the European Space Agency (ESA) do something similar with their gear. *1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Field_Camera_3 *2 https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/58179/4-megapixels-seems-rather-low-why-werent-james-webbs-sensors-updated-to-highe Sturgeon Super Moon: https://nasaspacenews.com/2025/08/sturgeon-moon-2025-two-magical-nights-under-one-full-moon/ edited to upload the correct cropped images.

Have a look at the video from pal2tech, it seems like there are some confusing and/or non-intuitive things to trip over in the bluetooth setup since this firmware update.

You have to delete the device (camera) in the phone's bluetooth settings first, then it can be removed in the X-App. The pal2tech bloke goes over some of the confusing and non-intuitive stuff in this video

Hello Steve I was interested in your post regards the Bluetooth problem since the recent firmware update. It is causing me problems too. You have a One plus 12 and I have Oppo Find X8 Pro which also runs on colour OS, my version is 15.0.0.840 Basically I believe these phones probably come out of the same Factory in China. They are great devices. I paired my Fujifilm X100VI seamlessly on the old firmware and was amazed how firmware could be upgraded through Bluetooth/WiFi using an app as my Lumix, Sony, Nikon FF gear was the usual download update, ectract bin file. Copy to formatted card, fully charged battery and update through menu. Upgraded to a new firmware with ease some months ago when first getting X100VI. Had to reset phone without unpairing, another issue with Google pay. Unrelated. Reconnected camera to my Oppo, saw notification about firmware update in last 10 days. Upgraded to the latest through Bluetooth/WiFi direct.. Took a while but was successfully updated. Then I have to re-pair the phone, now it says to remove the previous device X100VI, so I follow procedure to forget the previous pairing. However it doesn't get rid of it and I ended up doing reset network settings on camera. Didn't work either. Then I did a factory reset of the entire camera which is a pain as you have to set up the whole thing again and I didn't really back up my settings. Anyway, this also didn't work so I ended up doing another factory reset of my Oppo phone. After setting that up, the problem is still there. Can't get rid of the original pairing. Huge disappointment, loads of time wasted to no avail. I'm in Australia so I've got on to Fujifilm Aus. The representative was fantastic and he walked me through all the trouble shooting steps. Exhausted all avenues and had to accept defeat. He did mention that a lot of people had contacted them and were having issues since this new firmware upgrade. So we can only hope that they might do another firmware patch to fix the problem or update Fujifilm X App. I am almost ready to sell this camera after these dramas. Considering maybe going back to Sony, Nikon, Lumix (2nd Gen). All pricey stuff. Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers Ian

Thanks, pw-pix! I am planning to buy the Fuji lens this weekend Mike

Does the camera actually create pictures? Try shooting and see what ends up on the card. It sounds like a faulty camera from your description, could be the sensor, image pipeline, or just the video feed for EVF and screen.
